Who can forget John Connor from Terminator 2?
His pa-and-son like bonding with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T2 in Terminator 2: Judgement day was one important reason behind the film’s success.
Edward Furlong bought that character to life. He went on to play a few more acclaimed roles in Pet Sematary 2 (1992) and A Home of Our Own (1993).
He hasn’t been nominated for any award since American History X (1998).
His last role was in the fan-film Star Trek: Renegades (2015)
